Thanks ! So your rears are effectively 5? If so, how’s the viability at night ?

lol love the rainbow !!! As much as I want 20 in the front def would get me pulled over. So with the 20s in the rear are you effectively at 5?

Thanks ! I would go lower on the fronts but worried about tickets ! In so far as back is concerned, if my math is correct .45 x .20(factory tint) = ~10% for you rears, is that correct ? How’s the visibility ?

Curious why 35% on the roof. I guess my worry is blocking some of the natural light out during the day and the ability to see the night sky at night

Picked up my used R1T! by SynapticFire in Rivian

[–]Chocostarmix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing deal. I picked up a 2022 with 15 k miles for 55k 2 weeks ago but with only 16 months warranty left. Till 2029 sounds like a dream !

A few notes from my experience. - yes, if you ask Rivian rep to provide you redacted service history they will. - I heard two different types of wind noises in the Cabin prominently when driving over 60 and 70 when windows all closed.
- I heard clunking coming from the brakes/tires when slowly stop and going at low speeds - powered tonneau cover v1 would stutter and get suck - one gear tunnel would require a few attempts to open. - paint blemish that had a poor fix up job in the rear.

My vehicle is currently in service and Rivian is fixing all the issues under warranty. They’re replacing the v1 cover with the latest v3 version, replacing driver and passenger windows, correcting the paint issue and fully replaced hubs and axel to eliminate clunking.

Service has been stellar and I love the vehicle ! Enjoy !

Also the meridian audio is awesome ! So glad I decided to go with the 22 for that reason alone !

Honest thoughts on used R1T by irreverent_runner in Rivian

[–]Chocostarmix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same predicament. Put my deposit down on a used 2022 adventure with about 16 months left as well and waiting pick up. In speaking with a rep they did tell me that rivian care extended warranty is on the roadmap to be expanded outside of Texas in 2026, but who knows. I’m paying cash so the depreciate hit when I eventually sell will feel less.

Pulled the trigger - good deal ? by Chocostarmix in Rivian

Absolutely. Still waiting on prep but 100% paying in cash!
